Well , the Friday/Saturday Meet went Really Well ...

Went up in the G&D Car Carrier with Whoosha , Arriving at Heathcote Roughly 7pm , Due to an Accident on the Hume,

Saturday was Great , Russells Jet Van scaring the SHI7 out of Everyone , a Rocket Sled Car , Fireworks , Demolition Derby which Whoosha and Myself Fixed some cars to run in .. Then Russell Setting them all on Fire with the jetVan

Apart from that , there were LOTS of Quick LS1s there , something the Ford Boys need to start Catching .. The Higgins Ute and the CAPA Utes were Fast ,with CAPA taking the Fastest MPH over the Day , and Higgins Picking up Fastest ET ..

2 Day event should be for the ford one too !

Hope to see Kevs blown XR and Cams tuff pursuit back out on the track again soon, Chriss + Craig did look a little lonley in the outlaws class Russle from Heathcote park has some serious issues from his pyro technic exploits to his Insane 12 sec jet van that doubles as as srcap meatal Furnace well heres a few picckys I got as usal its ony a cheapy camera but it does the job :

EErrrrrrrrrrrrr thanks Whoosh (good to catch up, i hope i'm as active as you at your age (62 ish), yeah got a couple of 12.4's earlier and was starting to feel comfortable in the car then had both rear leaf springs break, not much fun doing 100 mph all over the place .......LOL....so there was only 3 cars in the FORD bracket i decided to just cruise down the track, i was consistent 19.49, 19.29, 19.74 but got beat in the 1st round.

Still had fun, my missus yet again went through to the final in the BOTS class in her manual SS commodore and picked up the runners up trophy and $200.00 cash and my mate Phonsy from GM Motorsport/Rip Shift did the same so all in all it wasn't too bad.

Got to do some work on the rear now these big heavy manual ute's just don't like being launched this hard.

Cheers Craig

2 Day event should be for the ford one too !

It was a great weekend of racing :sm_headba

The LS1 car's are getting very quick now :

Good to see a few of the Ford boys/cars out there this weekend too :

I even saw my favourite "drag racer Chris" from blue power race too :sm_headba

A 2 day Ford day would be great, any 10 second Bosses out there that can handle 2 days :



Also good to meet a few of the Ford forum members too (Whoosha)

Jim
